1) There is OBVIOUSLY a leak in the brake line somewhere. Brake fluid doesn't magicly dissapear you know.

2) Well logic says there's a leak in the rear tire.

My guess. I bet brake fluid is leaking onto the tire, eating though the rubber and is causing a leak. But mechanic diagnosis over the internet is a b!tch sometimes ya know?
